Question

Adam is taking a test in PE. The prompt for one question states:

Which sport do you think is the best overall for achieving physical fitness goals? Explain your reasons.
Which thesis statement clearly states what Adam will write in his essay?


A: The physical and mental demands of martial arts make this sport superior to any other when attempting to achieve physical fitness goals.

B: Lots of sports are good for achieving one’s physical fitness goals, but the key to success is that you must get up and move!

C: Personally, I think that football is the best sport ever because it is fun, you work as a team, and there’s nothing more exciting than scoring the winning goal.

D: People who do not exercise enough or eat properly put their lives in danger and will never achieve their physical fitness goals.

Answer 1

Hey there! :D

I think the most important thing to remember here is the structure of a thesis statement. 

Main idea- point- point- point. Each point represents like a paragraph of details. 

Also, the question stated that it was what you thought was the best sport, and explain the reasons. 

I wouldn't say "A". It doesn't have points. It's more of an opinion. It's better than any other sport. (superior) It's a statement, more than a thesis. 

"B" and "D" aren't about sports. A specific one was never mentioned. 

"C" is the best answer. The prompt asked what you thought was the best sport. If he said 'personally' or 'I think' that's fine. Plus, he had three good points in his thesis. Main idea: I think football is the best sport ever. Points: 'it is fun' 'you work as a team' and 'there's nothing more exciting than scoring the winning goal.' 

I hope this helps!
